Here are the problems I'm encountering with flattening:
- I cannot flatten individual items leaving form fields or other notes;
- I can only flatten items when saving a flattened PDF; and
- when I save a Flattened PDF, I have to remember to set it back to Standard PDF when saving the next file
In other PDF programs I've used (Qoppa PDF coming to mind), you can flatten individual items without flattening any other items. This is helpful for us when we use something like QuickSign, where I can approve a request while leaving some form fields available for others who might also approve the document, but need to add data into form fields.
As well, since you can only flatten a PDF when saving it, you have to remember to change the save setting back to Standard PDF when saving the next file, or you could risk ruining a PDF in progress (don't ask how I learned this!).
It would be nice to have the ability to flatten individual items as well as an option to flatten all items in a document. That way, you can pick and choose individual items, or you can have it flatten the whole thing. And you don't have to worry about accidentally ruining the next file you touch. It also means that I don't have to use the Save As dialog box when saving the flattened file.
